Underrated is a term that comes up a lot to describe sporting athletes, particularly in football.

Some players are underrated from a league perspective in that they don't get as much love as some of the other stars. While others are underrated from a club perspective because of their importance to the team in playing a specific role that may not yield massive numbers.

Port Adelaide

Darcy Byrne-Jones

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley loves Byrne-Jones so much, he was pushing for him to be in the All-Australian squad in 2019. DBZ is one of the bright young talents in the AFL and is the Powers' go-to man off half back.ย  While not a great great ball user, he's an elite intercept marker that reads the play very well and accumulate big numbers from defence.
